5 дней рая 5 days of paradise

Hello everyone))) Finally, it's time to talk about our 5 day vacation on the island of Phi Phi or Phi Phi.
The hotel was chosen for a long time and carefully, it was on this site that I read all the reviews of 2 * and 3 * hotels, in the end we settled on this particular Bay View Resort Phi Phi hotel.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE HOTEL:
located really away from the hustle and bustle as we were told by the tour operators)))). We chose the DELUXE VILLA category, our bungalow number 204, the view from the window is simply divine (see photo).

Our room had: a double bed, an air conditioner, a ceiling fan, a large plasma, a hairdryer, a wardrobe, an electric kettle (every day they gave 2 bags of coffee, tea, dry cream, sugar is free), a large mirror, a table, bedside tables on the sides of the bed with lamps, a mini fridge in which there was (2 cans of fanta, sprite, cola, beer, mineral water, and 2 chocolates each for an additional fee when you check out of the hotel). Every day they gave 1 liter of water per person, this water was given free of charge). Bed linen was changed every day, towels were changed every three days. A shower with hot water around the clock, shower accessories were given 1 time as we moved in (per person: this is 1 bag of shampoo, conditioner, soap and a shower cap for women). You can order cocktails and food in the room, there is Wi-Fi Internet, you buy a card at the reception for 100 baht for 1 hour and use the Internet in the room). There is also free internet at the reception.
Now a little for the appearance of the room. Repairs were apparently made as soon as they opened, they don’t shine with beauty, but you can live, the furniture is all old. Only one view from our window compensated for the old furniture and not very clean walls))). But we are not picky and were satisfied with everything.
HOTEL TERRITORY:
really all in flowers, palm trees and lawn grass everywhere. And the most important thing is the silence and a wonderful view))). The hotel has a swimming pool, not big but with a bar, open until 7 pm. There are also two private beaches, one opposite the reception, the second if you go down from the pool and you will see))) on the second beach you can order cocktails for an additional fee, the waiter will bring them to you. If you want to lie in silence and soak up the sun, then I advise the second beach).
NUTRITION:
we took only breakfasts, left with full bellies, everything was very satisfying and tasty. There was a buffet for breakfast))) there was a lot of food and different. Rice, potatoes, pasta, mushrooms, eggs (fried, boiled, omelets), sausages, boiled and fried meat (pork and chicken), vegetable cuts, meat cuts, cheese, strawberry and orange jam, toast, butter. From drinks, orange juice, apple, mojito, milk, tea, coffee. From fruits: watermelon, mango, kiwi, pineapple, bananas. But every day is the same, just in the 5 days that we spent on the island, we tried everything.
For a hotel of this category, everything is just super, super, super, you can give 4 *. Very nice girls work at the reception, if you know English then there will be no problems))). We were very satisfied.
In the restaurant itself, as for me, the prices are more expensive than in other cafes)) we found a cool cafe called "Cosmic" in the center and every time we went there for lunch and dinner, there is also free Wi-Fi. We recommend his dishes to everyone, they are huge, very tasty and at low prices.
NOW A LITTLE ABOUT REST AND EXCURSIONS:

I do not advise you to take excursions at the hotel and special patches. Before our departure, I read on this site about the boy Ali who, on his motor boat, carries for 1500 baht on the same excursions. It is easy to find when you walk around you will see a bunch of people who sit and offer excursions there, ask Ali and negotiate. So when we explored the island so by chance and stumbled upon Ali, and agreed on excursions))) he took us to monkey island (they roam freely there and wait for treats), so if you are going to visit monkey island, buy them bananas, watermelon or whatever you see fit . Then he took us to the reserve on the Maya Bu beach, where the movie Jungle was filmed)))), then he took us where you could swim and swim with fish, the water there is really turquoise like in magazines. Ali had bread for the fish and he lured them, and we dived with masks and admired them))). Then I rode between the islands where no one lives)))))) we were very pleased.
To sunbathe and swim, we went to one beach, I don’t know what it’s called, we walked constantly straight and stumbled upon it, so we went there constantly there the water is clear and turquoise)) there we rode a kayak, you can still fly by parachute, you have to go there before lunch, then the tide begins and there is nowhere to put a litter everywhere there is water (.
One minus of the island is that there is not a single disco (this is for young people) at 8-9 pm the island is dying out ((silence and no one.
AND NOW HOW WE GOT THE ISLAND AND WHO MET US:
We flew from Kyiv (Boryspil airport) bought tickets in Odessa through Boomerang Tour, met us in Bangkok SAYAMA Travel - a tour operator in Thailand (very responsible and punctual) they gave us a local SIM card, put flowers around our neck, gave us a very comfortable backpack with you)))) took us to another terminal (it was a flight from Bangkok to Phuket) the domestic flight was included in our package. When we arrived at about. Phuket, we were met again by SAYAMA Travel employees, put us in a minibus and took us to the pier (we drove about 40 minutes), where they explained to us how and where to buy whitewash on the boat. We waited for the ferry for about 2-2.5 hours, sailed to the island for about 2 hours. I say right away that it’s better to put your luggage near you, otherwise the boat’s employees put all the luggage in one pile, and while you wait for yours, you will turn gray. When we sailed back, we already kept our luggage right next to us . . When we sailed to about. Phi Phi, then there we were met by the hotel staff (they found out by the sticker that you will be pasted when you wake up already in the boat). You and your luggage will be put into a small motor boat and taken to the hotel.

Well, I seem to have told everything, if there are questions I will be happy to answer))))) And now look at the photos and enjoy the beauty))))) Many thanks to Alice from Boomerang Tour and the welcoming company SAYAMA Travel for such a wonderful vacation.
